With the ability to measure almost any gas, FTIR monitoring technology is used in a wide variety of applications including continuous emissions monitoring, stack testing, process control, industrial hygiene, engine emissions, semiconductor manufacturing, emergency / first response, greenhouse gas monitoring, carbon capture, fire testing, research and many more.

The same FTIR technology can be deployed in fixed, mobile or portable versions and configured to analyse specific target compounds. However, FTIR can also be used to look for unknown compounds.

The White Paper answers 22 commonly asked FTIR questions, such as:

• How is the IR spectrum used for the gas quantification?

• What is the performance of FTIR in emissions monitoring?

• When should a Gasmet FTIR be calibrated?

• What is the typical response time?

• What is a reference spectrum and what effect is there from the use of a reference spectrum from a different analyser?
